A user continues to alter the print from the way in which it was received, by changing it to grayscale. Hoops gza ( talk) 18:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
They clearly scanned a yellowed, faded copy which had colour blotches. While my understanding is that images can be used in several ways, the two main ones are to honestly depict the situation *in* the image, or to depict the image itself. There seems little point showing 60+ years of degradation in this image.
The image is used on the cover of We Wept Without Tears by Gideon Greif ISBN 978-9633689776 ( Hohum @) 19:22, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
I wouldn't see the changed image as an issue from the historical standpoint so long as it's made CLEAR that the image has been modified in some way (and with those changes publicly tracked and annotated). I'm not saying that this hasn't been done, but pointing out that we should always be very sure to do this if cleaned-up images are going to be posted.

I had forgotten about this discussion, and have just uploaded the original again from Yad Vashem. I did this not because of the change in colour discussed above, but because the image was smaller than on the Yad Vashem site. If anyone wants to sharpen it again, I have no objection, and apologies for not remembering that this discussion took place. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:36, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
I wonder why this isn't a Public Domain image. If you go to to commons Auschwitz Album alot of these images use Anonymous-EU (for example here) including some from the same source supplying image from the Auschwitz Album. Why don't that apply here?--- ARTEST4ECHO( Talk) 19:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
